Weeks after seemingly splitting with Bellator over what he termed an “unacceptable” contract offer, Jimmy Smith has signed a new deal to return to the promotion as their color commentator, MMA Fighting has learned.

Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney confirmed that the two sides have reached a three-year deal with Smith, who has been the promotion’s analyst since season two.

Smith will be back with his regular broadcast partner, play-by-play man Sean Wheelock. The promotion’s fourth season will begin on March 5 and air on Saturday nights on MTV2.
